Toys for Your Backpacks

Last Thursday, more than 20 of us gathered in the roomy bay at Station 5 and shared ideas and examples of practical gear for CERT Responders. We examined it all, from apparel to bag styles to tools and medical supplies.

This year we took a different approach to the show-and-tell, going categorically instead of round-robin, which provided a much more interactive discussion as we stopped to philosophically discuss items of a similar application.

Captain Clamon’s team injected a wealth of insight throughout the evening and even gave us a demonstration of how to apply an Israeli compression bandage. We are grateful to our friends in the Allen Fire Department for their commitment to our growth and sustainability.
